Description
Fragments of Victory: The Contemporary Irish Left explores the complex and dynamic world of modern left-wing activism in Ireland. This book delves into the stories of various movements, including republicans, social democrats, trade unions, Trotskyists, and anarchists, as they battled neoliberalism and austerity.
From the early years of anti-austerity campaigning to the seismic victory of 'Repeal', a campaign for women's reproductive rights, each chapter offers an insider's perspective on how history was made. Written by leading activists, these chapters provide valuable insights that can be applied to international movements everywhere.
This book is a rich tapestry of modern left-wing activism in Ireland, shedding light on the struggles and successes of various groups. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of contemporary Irish politics and social movements.
